EURAC RESEARCH RIUNISCE A BOLZANO 80 ESPERTI IN RICERCA ECOLOGICA A LUNGO TERMINE

[Google Translate] EURAC RESEARCH BRINGS TOGETHER 80 EXPERTS IN LONG-TERM ECOLOGICAL RESEARCH IN BOLZANO 

The South Tyrolean research centre hosts the LTER national conference.

LTER stands for Longterm Ecological Research. Across Italy, at various terrestrial, freshwater and marine sites, researchers perform long-term measurements. The extensive data set includes environmental parameters such as air temperature, soil humidity, solar radiation and precipitation. With this information, researchers can accurately record ecological processes and predict the effects of climate change more accurately. One of these research sites is the open-air laboratory located in Val di Mazia, in the upper Val Venosta, coordinated by the researchers of Eurac Research together with colleagues from the universities of Bolzano and Innsbruck. [...] The principle of open science according to which data must be shared not only within the scientific network, but with a wider public is the common thread of this edition of the national conference.
